That night, Linda, Beverly and Fiona were very diligent. After working with Zhang Tie for the greater part of the night, the three women finally fell asleep satisfactorily.
Sleeping was charging. It was also the most natural way for a person to recover his spiritual energy and vitality. As a knight, even sleeping was different than that of commoners.
Commoners were in shallow sleep. Some brain regions and cortical tissues were still in a semi-active and excited state. Like an idling engine, this semi-active and excited state was also consuming human energy and vitality. Therefore, commoners usually slept longer. Usually, a commoner needed 7-8 hours to recover his spiritual energy. Actually, Hua people meant to close their eyes to reduce the excitement of some brain regions and cortical tissues so as to consume less energy and vitality.
Knights' sleep was different than that of commoners. Almost each knight had mastered the skill of deep sleep when they promoted to a knight. This kind of deep sleep was like a process of charging one's body rapidly. In a short period of 3-4 hours or even only about half an hour under special circumstances, a knight would have a better sleep quality and spiritual recovery effect than that of commoners.
When he promoted to a knight, Zhang Tie had already mastered the skill of deep sleep. After making a breakthrough in his spiritual energy, Zhang Tie's skill of deep sleep improved as he entered an indescribable sleep state.
In such a deep sleep, Besides his instinctive awareness and vigilance towards the environment, all of his brain and cortical tissues were completely silent and cool. He entered a sweet and ethereal state. In this state, he didn't have any dreams or distracting thoughts. His brain and body felt as comfortable as returning to a huge placenta. Contented and comfortable, except for the fact that his consciousness had stopped. In this state, Zhang Tie's guts seemed to be able to "hide" things, including his qi, blood, vitality and spiritual energy. All of them were dormant in his guts. In the silent darkness, Zhang Tie's guts had a subtle connection with the energy of the heavens and the earth and nourished them silently. They were tough, clean and vigorous once again. In the silence, Mengmeng moved. It gave birth to the power of Great Movement.
In such a sleep, even if Zhang Tie only slept 2 hours a day, he would feel much better than sleeping 1 hour a day. Each sleep was like taking a special tonic for Zhang Tie. When he woke up, his body and each surging point in his body would show a wholly new, great vitality, which made him full of surprise.
Sometimes, Zhang Tie even doubted that if he had not promoted to a knight, he only needed to have a good sleep like this every day in Blackhot City. He could root in the ground like a big tree in the woods without doing any other cultivation and exercises. He could naturally grow stronger and healthier.
Now, Zhang Tie only needed to sleep 3 hours a day before he felt "blooming". After 3 hours, his vigorous vitality, qi and blood would naturally overflow from his guts. As a result, his body would become vigorous and vigorous in over 10 breaths. By then, he would not fall asleep anymore; instead, he could only be brilliant. Zhang Tie didn't know whether others had such a feeling when he got up. He didn't even know how to describe it. However, each time he got up, he would feel that his body was blooming like a flower, which made him full of pleasure. He felt that a brand new and wonderful day was coming.
...
It was September 19th today. After lying on the bed quietly for a short while, Zhang Tie carefully tasted the wonderful feeling of blooming before opening his eyes.
The bedroom was pitch-black. It was five o 'clock in the morning, and the sky outside was still dark.
Linda was sleeping on his right arm; Fiona was lying on his chest; Beverly was sleeping on his right arm. There was a pleasant smell in the room, which contained the delicate fragrance of the three women, the faint, elegant fragrance of some purple rosemary in the vase and the smell of human proteins that Zhang Tie sprayed into the air.
The three women were sleeping soundly. Zhang Tie stealthily moved his arm from Linda's and Beverly's heads. After that, he slightly moved Fiona onto the pillow. After slightly kissing their cheeks, he covered the quilt for them. After that, he got up and left the bedroom quietly. After taking a bath in the bathtub, he put on his clothes and left the room.
The maids of the manor would only wake up at six o 'clock. Therefore, at this time, the inner residence was quiet. Apart from the guards who were guarding their posts, the rest of the people in the Zhang family's residence had not woken up yet.
Zhang Tie came to a grassland in the backyard garden which was covered with red maples. After making some movements, he slowly started to punch.
Zhang Tie's movements were slow and natural. Each of his movements was as smooth as floating clouds and flowing water. Although he didn't look powerful, he was still pleasing to the eyes. In the eyes of laymen, Zhang Tie's punches were no different than those of those uncles and aunties in the public squares and parks in the morning.
After reaching the realm of knights, the so-called cultivation was always deep water flow. Outsiders could not sense the realm of forming chakras or practicing battle skills.
However, knights were always different than commoners. After practicing for over 10 minutes, all the leaves and twigs of the red maples in the garden within 20 m started to melt as his invisible qi surged out. Additionally, the grasses on the ground started to sway along with Zhang Tie's movements in an extremely rhythmic way. When Zhang Tie's hand was facing upwards, those twigs, leaves and grasses would face upwards; when Zhang Tie's hand was facing downwards, those twigs, leaves and grasses would face downwards; when Zhang Tie's hand was facing eastwards, those twigs, leaves and grasses would face eastwards; when Zhang Tie's hand was facing westwards. Those twigs, leaves and grasses were like being tied to Zhang Tie's hands and those twigs, leaves and grasses by an invisible line. As a result, those twigs, leaves and grasses moved along with Zhang Tie's movements uncontrollably.
The morning dew on the branches, leaves, and grasses bounced up in the swaying motion. After being broken and evaporated, the area within 20 m became foggy. It was very weird. Along with Zhang Tie's movements, the fog would gather and disperse in an unpredictable way. Like a painter's drawing board, dragons and snakes would appear and disappear in the fog from time to time. If such a scene was seen by some ignorant villagers, they might even fabricate a story about mountain spirits and wild monsters.
Not knowing when. Zhang Tie's elder brother Zhang Yang was already standing 20 m away from Zhang Tie and watching Zhang Tie practicing his fist skill quietly.
Over these years. Zhang Yang always had a regular work and rest schedule. He also kept the habit of getting up early to exercise in the morning. Zhang Yang had not imagined that he could meet Zhang Tie here today.
However, the moment he came to the back garden, Zhang Yang had been attracted by Zhang Tie's fist skill. He wanted to move closer to Zhang Tie; however, he was blocked by an invisible qi wall within 20 m.
Watching the swaying twigs, leaves and grasses and the unpredictable fog around Zhang Tie, Zhang Yang was very shocked, which was even more intense than when Zhang Tie flew away in front of him last night.
It was Zhang Yang's first time to see Zhang Tie practicing his battle skills in front of him these years.
As Zhang Yang had an average talent in cultivation, he couldn't identify which fist skill Zhang Tie was practicing. He only felt that Zhang Tie's fist skill was similar to Iron-Blood Fist. However, it was different than Iron-Blood Fist. Zhang Tie's movements contained a looming sense of life and death which didn't belong to Iron-Blood Fist.
The sense of life and death was very terrifying. Based on Zhang Yang's senses, he knew that Zhang Tie could turn him and everything around him into powder as long as he ran his mind. As he knew that Zhang Tie wouldn't do that, he just stood aside and watched Zhang Tie.
After practicing for a short while, Zhang Tie stopped his fist and stood still. Closely after that, he stretched his hands and let out a long breath. At the same time, the mist in his surroundings dispersed at once. At the same time, Zhang Yang felt that the invisible qi wall in front of him disappeared at once.
At this moment, the stars in the sky gradually disappeared. Some rooms in the manor had been lit up. Some maids were getting ready to get up.
Zhang Yang walked over there.
"What's this fist skill? It doesn't seem to be the Iron-Blood Fist that you cultivated before." Zhang Yang asked.
"It's not Iron-Blood Fist. I just practiced it blindly recently. It's called tendons and activating blood soup to strengthen my body." Zhang Tie explained in a bashful way.
Of course, Zhang Tie was not practicing his punching skill blindly; instead, he was trying to simulate and reproduce the cavitation effect that he had sensed in the water using his punching skill and battle skill. The cavitation effect was very powerful. Zhang Tie felt that if he could display that effect in his punching skill and battle skill, the power of his punching skill and battle skill would be very terrifying. Even the birth and death of common bubbles could make him feel unbearable in the water, not to mention the birth and death of his battle qi and punching skill. That would be more powerful.
The mutual promotion and restraint of the five elements in the battle qi of Five-elements Ground-look Sutra coincided with the birth and death of the cavitation effect. During this period, Zhang Tie felt like he had comprehended something. Therefore, he tried to simulate it. However, as he had not mastered it yet, Zhang Tie felt embarrassed to tell his elder brother that he wanted to create a powerful battle skill; because it was too shocking. Even for knights, battle skills, especially powerful battle skills, could not be created by anyone at one's will. Most of the battle skills in this world originated from two aspects: one was the excavation and collation of prehistorical human secrets in the underground world; the other was the inheritance and breakthrough of human battle skills and battle skills before the Catastrophe. Iron-Blood Fist belonged to the former; however, Hua people's inheritance and breakthrough of the latter were the best among humans. Although it could be said that there were no Battle Skills created by the people of this era, there were very few that could spread and be acknowledged by people to have a great impact. Moreover, the creators of these Battle Skills were all grandmaster-level figures who had established their own sects.
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Zhang Yang revealed a bitter smile, "You're really hurting my self-esteem. If you're practicing blindly, what about us?" Zhang Tie smiled bitterly, "You're really hurting my self-esteem.
"Elder brother, of course, you're cultivating battle skills which are much more powerful than mine. When you promote to a knight, you can also practice blindly!"
After hearing Zhang Tie's witty words, Zhang Yang burst out into laughter, "Coincidentally, you're here today. How about giving your elder brother some advice?"
"Fine, elder brother, show it to me!" Zhang Tie said as he moved aside and watched Zhang Yang's practice.
Previously, before he graduated from the No. 7 National Male Middle School in Blackhot City, Zhang Tie's battle skills and cultivation were always guided by Zhang Yang. This time, the two brothers didn't feel uncomfortable about it.
Previously, Zhang Yang didn't have a high talent in cultivation. Over these years, he was busy with the affairs of business groups. Therefore, he had less time for cultivation. As for Zhang Yang, battle skills and battle skills had completely deteriorated into morning exercises for strengthening his body. Such a battle skill could be described as rotten in Zhang Tie's eyes. Any LV 9 fighter of demon corps could kill Zhang Yang many times.
After watching Zhang Yang's movements, Zhang Tie completely gave up the thought of giving advice to Zhang Yang. 'Forget it, even if elder brother spends more time on battle skills, he could only cultivate to die together with a LV 9 iron-armored demon for the rest of his life. Don't force yourself. If you have time, just think about how to light surging points. 'Just treat this battle skill as an aerobic exercise.'
Zhang Yang practiced it twice forcefully. Not until his forehead oozed sweat and face turned red did he stop. After that, he watched Zhang Tie and asked with a bit pleasant look, "How do you feel about elder brother's Universe Palm?"
Rubbing his face, Zhang Tie replied, "Elder brother, what's the word that you told me before? Oh, refreshing. Elder brother, your Universe Palm is very refreshing. I can't give any advice to you!"
After being stunned for a second, Zhang Yang burst out into laughter. Zhang Tie also burst out into laughter.
"I'm going to Youzhou City!" Zhang Tie opened his mouth with a smile, "The selection of the provincial governor of Youzhou Province will be held in Youzhou City. It's presided by Commander Cheng. That's what the clan elders talked about last night!"
Zhang Yang stopped smiling at once, "Is it dangerous?"
"No, it's said that Youzhou City is very boisterous. Therefore, I plan to take my parents and Linda there together with me!"
"Together?" Zhang Yang became confused at once …
"Yes, let's go there together!" Zhang Tie nodded affirmatively …
